[Launchpad Bug Tracker <1494402@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

You have been subscribed to a public bug:

Ubuntu 14.10 with GNOME3 PPA.

I launch Web, GNOME's default browser and I log in into my LinkedIn
profile.

Then, from the top bar I place my pointer over the "Connections" menu so it is expanded, once expanded, I click on the "See all" link:
https://www.linkedin.com/people/pymk/hub?ref=global-nav&trk=nav_utilities_invites_header

Upon doing so, the browser freezes and I notice the HD of my computer
starting to work hard. After checking with "top" the WebKitWebProcess is
growing its used memory by the Gbs!!! and it doesn't seem to stop.

This may not be a problem in WKGTK+ but the graphics driver since, after repeating the process with a GDB attached to the WebKitWebProcess, GDB states that the point in which it exits when manually killing the process is:
/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/dri/i965_dri.so

However, I cannot reproduce with Chromium, FF (of course, the code path
is completely different).
